Chapter 6 Retreating the Enemy
Zhang Ting's breathing became rapid. He still had one more arrow to shoot, but it was hard to say whether he would be able to destroy the boxwood crossbow in his hand after sending the arrow.
However, time was running out and he could no longer think too much. The last arrow shot out with a whoosh. Nan Li was paying attention to his actions with all his heart. Almost at the moment he pulled the trigger, his whole body turned into a ball of flame again.
After reaching a small level of cultivation in Luo Huo Jue, he can transform into another form at will, even during strenuous exercise.
The flames still extended outwards, trying to free up the middle part to let go of the arrow that was as white as the crescent moon. But suddenly an invisible force from the outside stopped its movement. Nan Li was completely unprepared, and the flames transformed by his body couldn't help but
After a pause, there was a bang, and the light arrow hit the flames. The force equivalent to a full blow in the early stage of foundation building immediately knocked Nan Li out of his transformation, and flew straight back more than twenty feet.
Go outside.
In shock and anger, before he could stabilize his body, he yelled something bad and flew to the right. However, although he changed very quickly, he still felt something biting his left arm. He turned around and punched in shock.
He came out and pushed back the thing biting his left arm. At this moment, he looked closely and realized that the thing was a large centipede nearly two feet long with a pair of small wings.
Nan Lion looked at his left arm again, and saw that the flesh and blood on it was blurred, and the overflowing blood was as black as thick ink. It was obvious that the centipede was highly poisonous. He snorted coldly, wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, raised his left hand to the side, and displayed a circle of fireworks.
Passing around from above, there was a hissing sound, and the thick black blood was forced out and turned into wisps of green smoke. In just an instant, the poison in his arm was actually burned away by him with real fire.
He looked at Xie Ling who stood up from meditating. His eyes flickered a little. Could it be that the invisible force that restrained him at that moment came from this person? Didn't he have no power in the fight with Zhang Ting?
Pay attention to Xie Ling, but the two sides are nearly fifty feet apart, so he is absolutely sure to be alert before the other party makes a move.
"It's your fault!" He was a little unsure, but his consciousness scanned the surroundings and found nothing suspicious.
Zhang Ting glanced at the ghost centipede, which was staring at him eagerly, and then looked at Xie Ling curiously. He had seen this ghost centipede before and knew that it was Xie Ling's spiritual pet, so its appearance now was not beyond his expectation.
. But was it really Xie Ling who interfered with Nan Li just now, causing him to avoid his last arrow? He was also not sure. The distance between the two parties was too far, and Xie Ling was still adjusting his breath at that time
Meditate to restore spiritual energy.
"Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me!" Xie Ling did not answer, but smiled lightly.
His spiritual consciousness has been cultivated to the third level of solidification stage. He can use the hammer of divine consciousness to give his opponent a fatal blow from ten feet away. Although the effect is not that good from ten feet away, Nan Liang can still manage his actions with a slight influence.
He did it. But this is his secret, and he doesn't intend to let too many people know, especially the enemy.
Zhang Ting pursed his lips, said "Okay" and then flew to one side and landed on the ground to restore his depleted spiritual power.
Xie Ling looked at Nan Li across from him. It was undeniable that this Dzogchen disciple in the late stage of foundation building on Nanming Island had the strength to crush the same level, but it was still far behind Xi Zhongxuan who had previously borrowed the 'Nirvana Death Crystal'.
in 'nirvana
With the help of the "Death Crystal", Xi Zhongxuan, who possesses the "Great Soul Seizing Technique", is as powerful as an early Jindan monk in a short period of time. The pressure in the realm makes Xie Ling, who has many magical powers, feel that he has no choice but to use the Biluo Sword to escape.
When Xie Ling looked over, Nan Liang felt his heart tremble. Although he looked calm on the surface, he actually knew that his internal injuries were very serious after suffering repeated injuries. He frowned and looked at the enemy who was walking towards this side step by step.
He didn't know how much the other party had recovered, and what other powerful methods he didn't know about, but Xie Ling's heart-stopping eyes just now made him feel like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. This feeling was very bad, and he
Became hesitant.
The ghost centipede swam around Nan Li at the right moment, making a sharp hissing sound from its mouth. Nan Li's blood still remained on its pair of huge jaw teeth.
Nan Li glared at it angrily, but he was still a little wary of the rapid speed that the ghost centipede showed just now. He carefully evaluated the form in front of him, suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, and his body turned into a ball of flames again and moved towards the rear.
After shooting out, he actually chose to retreat!
Xie Ling saw him leaving but did not pursue him. He finally understood why such a powerful Xi Zhongxuan died under Nan Li's calculations. This man could pick up and let go. He really had the style of a general!
The time was too short, Xie Ling only recovered 30% of his spiritual power, and he was not sure that he could kill Nan Li, who was already wary. This was the best outcome.
He first walked to Xi Zhongxuan's body. It was undeniable that the person on the ground was the most difficult person for him to deal with so far. People died for money, and birds died for food. Such a vigilant and cautious man with far-reaching plans fell like this. He couldn't help but feel a little agitated.
Sad.
He swept his consciousness all over the corpse, then grabbed the void with his right hand, and a black storage bag fell into his hand.
Then he popped a ball of flame towards the body on the ground. In a moment, Xi Zhongxuan's body turned into a pile of ashes. The fire was extinguished, leaving only a black crystal the size of a fist in the ashes.
Xie Ling was overjoyed and Vukong grabbed it in his hand and carefully looked at the thing that led Xi Zhongxuan to destruction.
The black crystal was transparent and clear, with a faint light on the surface. Xie Ling tried to probe into it with his spiritual consciousness. Unexpectedly, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless whirlpool as soon as he touched it. The entire sea of consciousness fluctuated violently.
Being pulled to spill out.
Xie Ling was shocked. He ignored the devoured consciousness and hurriedly cut off his connection with the 'Nirvana Death Crystal'. He touched the cold sweat on his forehead. As long as he hesitated just now, the lost consciousness would not be so.
It’s half a star!
But something even more unbelievable was yet to come. The 'Nirvana Death Crystal' was forcibly devouring his vitality through the spiritual shield wrapped around it.
"You have to be careful, it will devour the vitality of all living things that are close to it. If you look for it, there should be a special container to store it." Zhang Ting, who was sitting in meditation in the distance to recover his spiritual power, opened his eyes and said.
Xie Ling was reminded and immediately glanced at the black storage bag that had been put in. With just a glance, his eyes fell on a black wooden box inside.
Sure enough, after putting the 'Death Crystal of Silence' inside, he could no longer feel it devouring his life. Xie Ling took a long breath and placed a few more restrictions on the black wooden box before putting it into the storage bag.
"It's very dangerous here. If you're not in serious trouble, we'd better leave first." Xie Ling turned around and said to Zhang Ting who was opposite.
Zhang Ting knew that Xie Ling was right. Nan Li was obviously not alone. He nodded and said, "I'm fine, let's go!"
Xie Ling took out the Extreme Shadow Sword and turned it into a streak of colorful light, wrapping Zhang Ting in it and flying eastward together. They flew wildly for more than an hour before landing in a hidden mountain col.
After finding a dry cave, Xie Ling arranged a forbidden and hidden trace outside, and then he and Zhang Ting found a place to sit quietly and recover their spiritual power.
After another three hours, Xie Ling opened his eyes from the meditation and saw Zhang Ting not far away who was still in the meditation center and took out the storage bag he got from Xi Zhongxuan.
When he took out the black wooden box last time, he had a general understanding of the situation inside. There were very few things inside. Apart from a few spiritual stones, there were only one jade slip, three pieces of jade, five middle-level and low-grade talismans, and the
A black wooden box containing the 'Nirvana Death Crystal'.
He first took out the three pieces of jade, and found that two of them were actually a whole piece, with runes as thin as hair engraved on them. It must be what they call the 'Heavenly Secret Talisman'!
The 'Tianji Talisman' is different from the Wanli Talisman used to communicate. It is not a one-time consumable. People who hold it within a hundred miles can sense each other's existence. No restrictions can hinder it. There are extraordinary things in a specific location.
Its special and vulgar effects are very precious. Xie Ling had only read about it in books, and this was the first time he had seen the real thing.
After putting the 'Tianji Talisman' back into the storage bag, his eyes fell on the remaining jade slips and jade jues.
First, he probed the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness and found that there was a letter and a formula inside. The letter was written by Nan Li to Xi Zhongxuan. The first part was to reminisce about the past, and then asked him if he had practiced the 'Spirit Seizing Technique' and told him if he had.
In cultivation, other than sending it to him yourself
In addition to the general outline of the martial arts, he also needs the 'Nirvana Death Crystal' in his hand to achieve it. At the end of the letter, he said that he heard that the 'Yang Fu Sect' was developing a new weapon 'Huang Yang Crossbow', and he would be willing to use it if possible.
In exchange for the 'Nirvana Death Crystal' in your hand.
After reading it, Xie Ling couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine at Nan Li's ability to endure so much. This guy should have known about the disadvantages of the black wooden box decades ago, but he suppressed it until Xi Zhongxuan reached a bottleneck in his cultivation before sending the letter.
Come here. At this time, Xi Zhongxuan is already riding a tiger and cannot get off. He has no other option but to steal the 'Huang Yang Crossbow' in exchange for the 'Nirvana Death Crystal' according to his will.
Xie Ling could even imagine the secret contest between the two after they met in the secret realm. The two of them must have been wary at first, and then they evenly divided the relics of the Taoist Necromancer.
*Fa', and Nanliang has been paying close attention to his movements, and it was not until three years ago that he felt that the time was right before he began to plan and send this letter.
Xie Ling sighed and focused on the following exercises.
As stated in the letter, this is the general outline of the 'Great Soul Seizing Technique'. However, according to what Nan Li said before, this is actually only the first half, and the second half is still in his hands, which involves sensing the 'Nirvana Death Crystal'.
' method. Because he was worried that the death crystals of silence stored in the black wooden box would be sensed by Nan Li, he specially placed several restrictions on them.
After taking a rough look at one piece, Xie Ling put it aside, and his eyes fell on the last piece of jade. If there is no mistake, this piece of jade should contain the Taoist Necromancer's unique magical power, the Soul Seizing Technique.
